Where are the 9 servings of vegetables?!? Omega 3 fatty acids? Too much fruit and processed foods and not enough veggies, IMHO!

Yes Nurse DV. Just kidding. Acually was excited that you even give me any of your time. LOL
I do appreciate you comments.
Let see first excuse it was Sunday anything (food) goes.
I have always thought that the 9 veggies was an insane goal.
So let me post today and see what you think. If you care to, that is.

The "butter" is a processed food and has way too much omega 6 fatty acids and saturated fatty acids - same for the sour cream. You can train your taste buds to not need butter and sour cream (if my hubby could do it, anyone can).

The dressing is okay if it's the veganaise made with canola oil or a high-oleic oil - otherwise, too many omega 6 fatty acids. But too much processed fat overall!

Too many nuts! One or two (max) ounces are all you should be getting, especially with your high refined oil intake.

Yep. For Omega3 you only need 5 English walnuts a day. You don't even need that if you take 1 - 2 tablespoons of ground flax, which are much lower in calories.

The health authorities who recommend eating nuts for health say all you need per day are enough nuts to cover the inner palm of your hand.

Lettuce is very nutritionally dense, if you look at the nutrition you get per calorie. The trouble is lettuce is low calorie you have to eat an entire head of it to get the nutrition you would get in the cabbage family vegetables DV recommended.

I'm with DV about losing some of the oil.

Eating a lot of oil is like eating a lot of sugar. You are eating something that isn't a whole food, but an extract that is almost pure calories with almost none of the nutrition of the food it came from.

Oil is calorie dense. Two tablespoons of oil have about 200 calories. 200 extra calories a day is enough to put ( or keep ) on 20 lbs a year. Instead of two spoons of oil here is a sample of other things you can eat for a cost of 200 calories:

Overall, you could get more whole food choices for amino acids and other nutrients if you decrease your oil intake.

Not too bad but there's room for improvement.

Additionally, if you are not taking supplements, there is a lack of calcium, vitamin K, omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin D (unless you get sunshine where you live), vit B12, selenium, etc, etc.

Hey, you said I could comment.

Actually I'm flattered that you would even bother.
